The Commercial Model
Know Where HotelConnect24 Charges — and Where It Does Not.
The HotelConnect24 model separates the core channel-manager software, the hotel’s own direct bookings and HotelConnect24-generated network bookings.
Own Direct Bookings
HotelConnect24 applies 0% HotelConnect24 commission to bookings generated through the hotel’s own direct booking route.
Direct-booking performance itself depends on demand, traffic,
pricing, website quality and other factors.
Network Booking Fee
A 7% HotelConnect24 fee applies to qualifying bookings generated through the HotelConnect24 Network.
Network participation creates an additional booking opportunity;
it does not guarantee booking volume.
